Since yesterday Chromium features a new logo and icon. Screenshots:

Icon:

Commit entry in the Chromium versioning control system

I'm guessing the Google Chrome icon will see a similar re-design soon.

What do you think of the new logo and icon?

Quite honestly, i love it.

I like it... I liked the old one too, but this one actually evokes more of a "chrome" image in my mind. Maybe because my motorcycle is primarily chrome and steel blue :D

[Brandon H Supervisor]

not bad, will be interesting to see how it turns out with the google chrome colors :)

I like it better than the current one.

[BilliShere]

I like it because it looks so clean and fits nicely with chrome's minimalistic look.

[+Heartripper Subscriber¹]

I don't like it, too plain. Anyway, everything would be better than the current one if devs put in the high-res version.

The smaller triangle's (at the bottom) blue shade looks too similar to the bigger one left of it which kinda looks weird, but this is just from my laptop screen which washes some shades out.

I like it! It looks really nice actually. It projects a sleek look even before you open your browser. That being said, I liked the Chromium logo in particular due to the more muted blue colors.

LQ but it's already shown in some ads.

Apparently Chromium is now made by Aperture Science.

It looks great, but just not quiet as well as the current logo. The current logo is shiny and just looks awesome! :D

to all those who say that it looks too plain, I agree but then a lot of companies are going plain today, looks like its in

[evo0o]

it looks pretty decent, love the change.

It's true. Internet Explorer 9 has a pretty plain logo too. It's definitely not a bad thing, though.

No doubt they will. Their current logo is already based on the old chromium logo, aside from the different colors. So I'm guessing they will either implement this in their next dev build or whenever they reach chrome 12.

It's a Chromium build though, so couldn't they have just put it in to receive feedback to see if users like it or not?

[Panda X]

Eh. I prefer the current one. But I don't really care as I rarely ever see or look at the icon.

[Subject Delta]

I like it, nicer than the old icon, seems a bit more clean

Right, but chromium will bear this blue logo and isn't technically the part Google develops. If they plan to implement their yellow-blue-green-red version of the logo, they would add into the Chrome channels, starting with the canary channel first, then trickle down to the dev channel and so forth. I honestly don't think think anyone will hate this logo as it is a pretty good improvement.

[SMELTN]

man I really do like it.. I wonder if thats just a logo for Chromium though, and not Chrome.

[sviridovt]

It's true. Internet Explorer 9 has a pretty plain logo too. It's definitely not a bad thing, though.

agreed, plain isnt always bad. In fact I actually like it better, both the IE9 and new chrome one

[Ayepecks]

Looks much better. I've made Chromium my default browser after all the (IMO) negative changes Firefox has made.

[Another Canuck]

Simple, clean; it represents Chrome well. I love it :)

...And it looks less like a Pok? Ball.
